California Breathing is a program working to address asthma in California from a public health perspective. Our purpose is to advance strategies outlined in the Strategic Plan for Asthma in California -- a roadmap developed collaboratively by government agencies, asthma experts, community groups, and others to improve asthma prevention, treatment, policy, data, and public education. We are located within the Environmental Health Investigations Branch (EHIB) of the California Department of Health Services, and receive funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under a five-year cooperative agreement.California Breathing has launched a series of activities to implement the Strategic Plan.
